Cesarean section in a patient with Wolfe-Parkinson-White syndrome.

A 30 year old woman with abnormal fetal presentation was scheduled for emergency cesarean section. The patient had been a known case of Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, and appeared exceedingly anxious. She was given diazepam 5 mg and sufentanil 15 microgram as premedication following which routine and conventional general anesthesia was administered. The perioperative course was uneventful, and both the patient and the child were discharged fully well on the 5th postoperative day.
